Iran sends German-Iranian activist on medical leave back to prison
2022-11-14
[IsraelTimes] Daughter of Nahid Taghavi says her mother didn’t complete her treatment, but that she is returning to Evin Prison ’with her head held high’

A German-Iranian woman held for rights activism in Iran
...The nation is noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence...
was sent back to prison, after being granted medical leave four months ago, her daughter said on Sunday.

"Despite not completing medical treatment but with her head held high, my mother Nahid Taghavi was forced to go back to Evin Prison on Sunday 13th November," Mariam Claren wrote on Twitter.

Taghavi was arrested in October 2020, after fighting for human rights
...which often include carefully measured allowances of freedom at the convenience of the state...
in Iran for years, especially women’s rights and freedom of expression, according to the rights group IGFM.

Taghavi spent seven months in solitary confinement and was interrogated by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards for more than 1,000 hours without legal assistance, her daughter said.

She was handed a decade-long sentence last year for participating in an outlawed group, a verdict Germany described as "incomprehensible."

According to Claren, Taghavi was granted "an urgently needed medical furlough" on July 19 for back and neck problems.

She also reportedly suffers from pre-existing conditions, including high blood pressure and diabetes.

Protests have erupted across Iran since September, in response to the death of a young Kurdish woman, Mahsa Amini, after her arrest by the country’s notorious morality police.

#2  Other than the showers, Evin Prison is little different than a concentration camp.

#1  Nothing so notorious as morality police.
